Though I do not know what kind of connection you would need to host your own, I do know that a lot of ISP's prohibit running a webserver on your connection, and will shut you down if you do run one.

I don't think that a 450 up would handle the kind of bandwidth that you are expecting to be needing....

Actually I believe most ISP's do allow you to run a server now, I seem to remember reading that there was some kind of lawsuit or something that they lost. The problem you run into is not enough bandwidth so the server runs slow. I have run servers from home on Time Warner and they were fine for small sites. I even ran a browser based game on a server from home and it was fine until I started getting over 50 people at a time on it then it ran very slow.

You might check WebhostingTalk Forum. Hivelocity Hosting quite often runs specials on there for unmetered 10mbps servers in your price range and they seem to have a very good reputation.

That is interesting... Do you know which ones specifically allow you to host a server? All of the ones that I have been with will not allow it. Of course, for anything professional, I would not even think about self hosting a server on my internet connection.

NO big ISP will allow you to run a server at home legally. Time Warner (if they found you) would have shut you down. Read their ToS it is clearly stated.

anirudh90, your post is useless.

Don't go with godaddy, they have bad reviews. They'll suspend your account if you using lots of cpu load. Your video need a lot of resources, I suggest you get dedicated server. Reseller and VPS are not recommended.

i've heard about the suspending of overusers on the cheap shared hosting, which to me is totally understandable. But I've yet to hear of any instances they've suspended an account over high CPU usage on a Dedicated server. Have I missed something? have a link for me by chance?
